Hiker snaps a photo of what appears to be a magnificent gh-gh-ghost

Sometimes it's hard to catch the holiday spirit, but a hiker exploring Southern Ukraine's Chatyr-Dag mountain range managed to capture something that looks like it on camera. Mikhail Baevsky had ascended to a level of almost 4,000 feet on a cloudy day when he looked down and saw an eerie human silhouette with a rainbow aura emerge. Baevsky, a chemistry professor, said he felt like he was being chased by a ghost.
